A post titled 'My daughter (7 years old) made a website using HTML' has become a hot topic on the social news site Hacker News.

My daughter (7 years old) used HTML to make a website | Hacker News
The following website was posted on Hacker News as 'My daughter (7 years old) made a website using HTML.' It is a simple website with a total of five links that say 'click here to go to the ○○ (animal or technology name) page,' and the links introduce cats, dogs, cheetahs, tablet computers. If you check the source of the page, you can see that it was created using rudimentary HTML tags.

In response, one Hacker News user wrote, 'Her website loads responsively, has no obvious bugs in the code, is coherent and interesting, and is written succinctly while still providing both information and a glimpse of the author's uniqueness. This is a better website than 95% of the websites on the Internet,' praising the HTML written by a 7-year-old girl.
Several users have praised the literal talent of the 7-year-old girl who created the website. One user cited a sentence written on the computer's introduction page : 'Computers are a very important technology. Without computers, there would be no website, no Roblox Studio , nothing at all,' and commented , 'Isn't it amazing how children see things? It's so cute.'
Another user quoted a sentence from the cat's profile page that read, 'Cats can jump about six times their body length. Cats are about 2 feet long, so six times that is about 12 feet. Cats are very fearsome,' and posted , 'It's amazing the avenues explored by minds that are not tuned in to what society wants us to do. Well done!'
Other comments include, ' More trustworthy than GPT ' and ' This article made me laugh too. This website is great .'
'It's so good to see a young child enjoying learning a technology (HTML) that has plagued us old-timers of the Internet for years, even decades. I hope she continues to enjoy it,' one user commented .
Another user wrote, 'I miss the days when we enjoyed developing software at work. Something has changed. When I started in this job over 20 years ago, everyone was excited when they learned something new and struggled to share what they learned with others. Now everyone seems gloomy and work-hungry, too busy managing their own reputations to share the joy of learning something. If it were just me and my friends who are not having fun now, I would think it was because we are getting older, but my colleagues who are the same age as me 20 years ago are having just as many dark days as us, if not more so.' 'For example, I was in a meeting with a colleague and we needed something from a Parquet file. My colleague later retrieved the information, and we were able to share it with everyone. I said I might have time to write a script to extract it, but I said, 'Look at this!' I started up DuckDB and within a minute I had the information I was looking for. But my colleague's response was monotone: 'I've never seen anything like that. It looks useful.' There was no surprise or praise. It was as if they were sickened by DuckDB. I look around me and see so many young colleagues like this. Are they all doing their jobs as miserable as they look and sound? If so, I wonder why,' he said, expressing his affection for the girl who was simply learning HTML, while lamenting why he could no longer enjoy software development work.
Aakriti Agrawal, founder of Girls Code Lincoln, a non-profit based in Nebraska, USA, posted , 'I've been teaching programming to young girls for the past few years and I love what I do. Here are some age-appropriate learning resources I'd like to share with you.'
